At 8:30 a.m., we hear something…

But not much. A source says that Moses Abraham pushed back his decision at least until today. At least part of the reason for that, the source said via text message, is that “Indiana is doing a great job.” The source said Abraham is talking to Indiana’s Tom Crean again this morning.

So when should we expect an announcement? No idea. The source said that’s “Up to Moses.”

I have to assume based on the time I was contacted, though, that there were a lot of us awake a lot later than the Abraham camp last night.

Jubilee,
I will actually be very happy. I don’t want to get stuck with Yeguette or Wilkins. You know what is hilarious, is that the people who subscribe to the pay sites set around and wait for you guys to break the news.

Kitty Litter,
You use that name because cats like to relieve themselves on you?
If you would pay attention , Korman has already came out and said those were false accusations against me. I have nothing to do with Aruss.
It would still only put one talented player in the class, so probably not too high.

I equate this to every girl I asked to a dance in high school. There was more than one party involved and I had to do some hard convincing. “No, really my dad is letting me use his car.” “Sure I can get a date for your friend with the “good” personality.” “Promise, we are going somewhere nice for dinner after the dance.”.

Anyway there was always a lot of lobbying, but didn’t always get the results I wanted. Here’s hoping Crean has better luck.

If playing time is a major concern for AM, then he will come to IU. At GT, he could get overshadowed, and lose the spotlight. It will all depend on whether he wants to win right away, or can be patient for 2-3 years while rebuild and field a 20+ win team. AM will get that by his junior year.

When Sampson asked out his dates it usually involved a 3-way before the dance…Calipari tried to get lucky by letting his girlfriend cheat off an exam..She wouldn’t go all the way so he rudely dropped her in favor of taking his Kentucky Cousins to a dance. When you’re up against a Wall you tend to do whatever it takes…Crean has his good looks, a close friend that’s a doctor, and a pair of tickets in hip pocket to an ongoing production of Riversdance in Boston.

Sometimes it just takes an Oscar’s performance…’cause it’s hard out here for a pimp.

IU has the immediate PT and a real chance to make a name for himself. We could be a legitimate post season contender next year (NIT) if he is as good as advertised. In 2011, with MA as a soph, we’ll have a majority of guys with 3-4 years of experience and a guy like Carlino adding firepower. We could be very dangerous.

Georgetown is Big Man U – and you can be sure some of those guys will be available to him. He’s had plenty of contact with them and probably feels very comfortable with Georgetown.

It would be a tough call for any kid, let alone one who has only been in the US for a few months. His heart/gut probably say IU, but his brain probably says Georgetown is the wisest call. Trust your gut Moses!

Wow. I think if you want an example in how not to rebuild a program just look at Iowa. They should not have expected an immediate turnaround, especially given the level of fan support the program gets. Our game at Carver-Hawkeye this year was sparsely attended and the fans were disinterested to say the least.

I wonder if Cody Larson, their 3 or 4 star PF recruit, signed a letter of intent for 2010. He is 6’9″ and 225 lbs. Might be a potential target.

If Moses want to help develop his skill set on the court he will be at IU. If he wants to ride the bench he will go to GU.
GU has a top 50 PF (Nate Lubick) coming in next year and are a finalist for the #1 center of 2011 (rakeem christmas). Moses would get much more of an opportunity to show off his skills at IU.
